[Intro]
Here we go
[Verse]
Oh Loretta, she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty-two
Her laughing eyes are hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls
Loves me like I want her to
[Verse]
Oh Loretta, won't you say to me
"Darling, put your guitar on"?
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue and wailing song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
I can have her any time
[Verse]
Sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
At least not till she's all alone
Loretta, I won't be gone long
Keep your dancing slippers on
Keep me on your mind awhile
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
[Verse]
Oh Loretta, she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty-two
Her laughing eyes are hazel hue
Spends my money like a water falls
Loves me like I want her to
[Outro]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
